Coup de foudre à Harvest Moon

Great film good story , I've seen three times in each fall

Good hallmark movie!!! But I'm a little disappointed that we never found out who the Pumpkin Princess, like I can let some plot holes go but this one is unacceptable!!! Can someone please find out who the winner was!!!!

High maintenance rich girl Jennifer Stone (Jessy Schram) suddenly finds that her father has lost the family fortune. All she has left is an unknown pumpkin farm and she intends to sell the place quick. The Jarrett family has been living there and Brett Jarrett (Jesse Hutch) intends to buy it back but they don't have the money.

At first, I was going to complain about Schram. She's trying too hard but at least she's trying. Hutch is barely doing anything other than a smoldering frustration. It's not enough and it's not appealing anyways. I'd rather have them fighting. He's better off with the coffee girl. At the end of the day, this is not a horrible movie. For Hallmark, it's hitting on a lot of the targets. I wouldn't say it's good either.

I'm surprised this wasn't more highly rated. I wish Hallmark would make more movies like this one. So many lately make me cringe, and are not worth watching. Harvest Moon is fresh, with enjoyable characters and a decent plot. Yeah, it's still just a Hallmark movie; I'm rating it so highly only in comparison with other Hallmark movies.

Jessy Scram is this movie. Her bright smile and sunny disposition make this an enjoyable movie. Add two of the farmers kids and some of his hands and while this is a romance movie, it is really about all of these people, but especially Jenny.

Two standard Hallmark themes rules here. The arrogant privileged rich witch shows her meddle in the end. And the struggling family business (farm, vineyard) is threatened with bankruptcy.

Of course Jenny starts out as the enemy of all, and kind of deserves it at first. But over time she wins everyone's hearts. And the viewer's heart as well.

Without her, the story is pure vanilla and predictable on almost all points. Most of the acting is OK.
